CS2 Removes Ragdoll Physics As Players Make Corpse Mountains

CS2's closed network test originally included ragdoll collision physics, meaning that you could interact with spawned bodies rather than phasing through them. But this also meant they could interact with each other, so of course people found ways to make corpse mountains. Understandably, for com Pet itive reasons and to stop lag, CS2 disabled this feature. Yesterday, YouTuber 3kliksphilip uploaded a video titled "CS2 - The Superior People Stacking Simulator" which perfectly shows off what kind of shenanigans you can get up to thanks to ragdoll collision physics. He sets the left mouse click to spawn bodies and the right to blow them up.

This is important to note because, in CS:GO, if you stack bodies, Havok doesn't like it

Draymond Green calls Joel Embiid 'the hardest guy to guard in the league' after 46-point outburst

Joel Embiid couldn't quite get the Philadelphia 76ers over the finish line on Friday against the Golden State Warriors, but he did everything in his power to secure an unlikely victory. With James Harden sidelined due to an injury, Embiid scored 46 points on 13-of-23 shooting from the field and 19-of-22 shooting from the line. The 76ers came into the fourth quarter with the lead, but ultimately couldn't hold on as the Warriors won, 120-112. But that didn't stop the Warriors from praising their opponent, or that opponent from taking credit for a stellar performance. Former Defensive Player of the Year Draymond Green was particularly impressed with the message that Embiid sent him after the Game . "He told me, he said, 'You know why I played like that tonight? You said Joker (Nikola Jokic) was the hardest person to guard in the league . So I took that personal'", Green joked to report

Pistons' James Wiseman already shedding 'bust' label, but that doesn't mean Warriors should regret trading him

Just 15 Game s into his tenure with the Detroit Pistons, there's already one thing we know for certain about James Wiseman: He is not a bust. The "B" word was thrown around all too often during the first two and a half seasons of the 7-foot center's career, as he struggled to carve out a role and stay on the floor for the Golden State Warriors after being selected No. 2 overall in 2020. After much consternation, the Warriors made the difficult decision to part ways with the soon-to-be 22-year-old prospect, sending him to Detroit in a multi-player trade before February's deadline that ultimately yielded them a familiar win-now piece in Gary Payton II. Having played three games in college before logging just 60 in the pros, Wiseman simply could not thrive in the defending champions' ecosystem that lacked the necessary tolerance for mistakes a player of his experience level required. "I

Final Fantasy 16 Trailer Has Fans Worried About Gap Squeeze Loading

The launch of Final Fantasy 16 is on the horizon and to keep the hype train rolling, Square Enix has been sharing clips from the Game over on Twitter. What Square probably wasn't expecting was for the clip, the focus of which should be Clive's adorable dog Torgal, to be torn apart because it shows the player squeezing through a gap to get to the next area. In case you weren't aware, because let's be honest it's a bizarre hill to die on, Game s using gaps to disguise loading screens is apparently a very big deal. If you've played God of War or Final Fantasy 7 Remake, you'll know all about the mechanic. However, it seems its use in Final Fantasy 16, a Game its creators have claimed is so advanced it can only run on PS5, has annoyed quite a few of you.
